Systolic array implementation of H(z/sup -1/)=(a/sub 0/+a/sub 1/Z/sup -N/+a/sub 2/Z/sup -2N/)/(1+b/sub 1/Z/sup -N/ +b/sub 2/Z/sup -2N/) for N>or=2

A novel systolic array for the implementation of a second-order IIR (infinite-impulse response) transfer function expressed in terms of Z/sup -N/ is presented. The array is suitable for any value of N greater than or equal to two. The major advantages of this systolic array include nearest-neighbour interconnection and a requirements of only three identical basic cells.<
